Johor Bahru's Hidden Gem: R&F Rainy Mountain Designer Suite (RARE!) - A Rambling, Honest Review
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea (and hopefully, the complimentary jasmine tea they offer) on R&F Rainy Mountain Designer Suite in Johor Bahru. This isn't your average hotel review, folks. This is a journey. A messy, honest, sometimes-rambling journey into a stay that left me feeling… well, a little bit like I'd stumbled upon a secret. And a damn good one, at that.
First, the "RARE!" part. It's true. Finding this place felt like discovering a hidden oasis. The R&F project itself is… ambitious. Let’s just say it's a lot of building. But tucked inside, the Designer Suites are a different story. They’re like a curated escape from the hustle of JB, promising a luxurious retreat. Did it deliver? Let’s dive in, shall we?
Accessibility & Getting There: The Great Escape (Kinda).
- Accessibility: This is where things get a bit… mixed. They claim "Facilities for disabled guests," but I didn't see a ton of obvious ramps or super-wide doorways that I'd expect from a fully accessible place. However, the elevators are plentiful, and the common areas seem navigable. More specific details would be fantastic, but perhaps it's best to ask the staff for details.
- Getting There: The location is convenient, close to the CIQ. This is both a blessing and a curse. Blessing for convenience if you're crossing the border, potentially a curse if you hit peak traffic. Consider the accessibility of the journey prior to booking.
- Airport Transfer: Available! Which is excellent, because driving in JB can test the limits of your sanity. It's definitely worth pre-booking.
On-Site Bliss (or at least, the Promise of It):
Okay, this is where R&F Rainy Mountain really tries to shine. And honestly? They get pretty damn close.
- Restaurants & Lounges: YES! They have a good selection if you just want a good bite and a drink or two.
- Pool with a View: Oh yes. The pool! It's an outdoor beauty, with that essential "infinity" vibe overlooking the city. I'm a sucker for a pool, especially one where you can pretend you're a sophisticated jetsetter.
- Spa, Sauna, Steamroom: The spa is AMAZING. I did a body scrub. Holy moly, did I feel refreshed after it!
- Fitness Center, Gym/fitness: This place is actually not bad at all! You can definitely break a sweat here.
Internet & Connectivity: Keeping in Touch (and Streaming Your Heart Out):
- Free Wi-Fi in All Rooms! Hallelujah! Essential in this day and age. Fast and reliable.
- Internet Access & Internet [LAN]: There's LAN access, which is a nice touch for those who need a secure connection, but the Wi-Fi was more than sufficient for my needs.
- Wi-Fi in Public Areas: Yep, it's around, which is a lifesaver when you're waiting for your taxi.
Cleanliness and Safety: The Sanitizing Saga (Important Stuff):
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Good to hear.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Reassuring.
- Hand sanitizer: Plentiful.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: This is key.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Always a plus.
It gives me peace of mind knowing they are taking all precaution measures.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Fun:
- Breakfast [buffet]: Standard, but solid. Plenty of choices, and the Asian breakfast options were particularly good.
- A la carte in restaurant: This is important for if you just want a quick filling meal.
- Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop: Gotta have your caffeine fix!
- Poolside bar: Cocktails and sunshine? Yes, please!
- Room service [24-hour]: Winning! After a long day, sometimes all you want is a burger and fries in your pajamas.
Services & Conveniences: The Perks That Make Life Easier:
- Cash withdrawal: Essential.
- Concierge: Helpful, friendly, and they actually had useful recommendations.
- Currency exchange: Handy!
- Daily housekeeping: My room was always spotless, and the staff were super friendly.
- Dry cleaning, Ironing service, Laundry service: Makes travel so much easier.
- Elevator: Yep!
- Facilities for disabled guests: As mentioned, needs more clarity, but they have elevators.
- Gift/souvenir shop: A nice touch if you're looking for something to bring back home.
- Luggage storage: Perfect for those early check-ins or late check-outs.
- Safety deposit boxes: Always a good idea.
- Taxi service, Valet parking: Makes arrival and departure so much smoother.
For the Kids: Family Fun?
- Babysitting service: Good to know they offer this.
- Kids facilities, Kids meal: A family friendly place! which is very good.
Rooms: The Real Deal (And My Honest Thoughts):
- Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, Bathrobes, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, Private bathroom, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.
- My room was fantastic. Really, truly. Spacious, well-designed, and that super-comfy bed was a dream. The blackout curtains were a lifesaver for sleeping in.
- Room decorations: I loved the design aesthetic. Sleek, modern, and with a touch of luxury. It was a world away from the sometimes-tired decor you find in other JB hotels.
- Soundproofing: Excellent. Even with the city buzzing outside, I slept like a baby.
The “Meh” Moments:
- The elevator wait times can be a bit long at peak hours. Not a deal-breaker, but worth noting.
- Some of the signage could be clearer. Finding your way around the complex can be a little confusing at first.
My Quirky Anecdote:
I'm not even going to lie, I nearly spent an entire afternoon by that pool. That view… it just melts away the stress. Order the spring rolls, they are amazing.
Final Verdict: Is R&F Rainy Mountain Designer Suite Worth It?
ABSOLUTELY. This place is a genuine hidden gem. It's not perfect, but the positives far outweigh the small negatives. The design, the amenities, the service… it all adds up to a memorable experience. I'm already planning my return.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, 'cause we're about to dive headfirst into a travel itinerary so gloriously messy, so hilariously human, it'll probably make you question my sanity. We're talking R&F Rainy Mountain Designer Suite by ⓃⓈ【RARE FIND】 Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Consider this less a schedule, and more a chaotic dance party of my soul. Let's do this.
Day 1: Arrival, Anticipation, and Accidental Curry Gluttony
- 1:00 PM (or thereabouts): Touchdown in Johor Bahru! Finally! After a flight where the dude next to me snored like a rusty chainsaw and I spent most of it trying to contort myself into a comfy position (spoiler: I failed spectacularly), we're here. Taxi to the R&F Rainy Mountain. Oh, the name alone promises… something. Designer suite, eh? Fingers crossed it's not designer-level minimalism. My brain needs ALL the creature comforts.
- 2:00 PM (ish): Check-in. Praying for a smooth process, not the kind where you feel like you're being interrogated by a customs officer. The lobby better be Instagrammable. This is important.
- 2:30 PM: Suite reveal! Okay, honesty time: I'm expecting something fancy. Maybe a hint of opulence. Probably an overly-complicated TV. (I hate those. Seriously.) But here's the thing: I'm also a massive klutz. So, the risk of me spilling coffee/wine/general existence all over pristine white furniture is high. Wish me luck!
- Side Note: I have a habit of immediately taking a photo of the bed. It's for comparing purposes only. I need to know if the hotel room passes the "nap test".
- 3:00 PM: Explore the suite and the immediate surroundings. Finding the pool and spa is immediately followed by the question, "Can I wear that swimsuit I bought?" The answer this time is the same as always, yes, you can!
- 4:00 PM: Let's eat! Finding authentic Malaysian food. The mission: locate absolutely the best curry laksa the city has to offer. It's going to be a quest. One that may or may not involve several restaurants and potential overeating. (Highly likely.)
- 6:00 PM: Okay, so the curry laksa conquest succeeded. Perhaps I overdid it. A little. My stomach is currently staging a protest. Stumbling back to the suite, feeling like a stuffed sausage, I can only think of one thing: the nap test.
Day 2: Spa Shenanigans, Shopping Spree, and Karaoke Catastrophe
- 9:00 AM: Attempt to wake up. That curry laksa is still haunting me. It was delicious, though. No regrets.
- 10:00 AM: Spa day! Yes! I'm envisioning serene music, soothing scents, and a massage that somehow magically erases all my life's stress. Reality check: I'll probably giggle when they ask if I'm comfortable. I'm just built that way.
- Side Note: I've never really understood the "relaxation" part of spa days. Aren't you just…lying there? But I'm willing to try.
- 1:00 PM: Post-spa glow (hopefully). Lunch. Something light and healthy, a salad that will hopefully atone for my curry sins. Or maybe just more delicious Malaysian food. Decisions, decisions!
- 2:00 PM: Shopping time! (Send help.) Trying to find something unique, not just the same tourist tat. I love a good market – haggling is a skill I'm woefully under-practiced in.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner and Karaoke! (This is where things might go south very quickly.) I'd like to consider myself a decent singer. My friends are not exactly on board with that assessment. Regardless, I'm going for it. Prepare for some seriously off-key belting. And, honestly, I'm kind of excited.
- 8:00 PM: Karaoke. Okay people, please, go easy on me. My voice is…unique. The venue could use some work. I just hope I can avoid any public humiliation.
- 10:00 PM: Post-Karaoke Debrief. (Assuming I'm still alive!) The aftermath will likely involve copious amounts of water and the immediate review of video footage to see if it was as bad as I think it was.
Day 3: Departure, Reflections, and a Secret Resolve
- 9:00 AM: Brunch, trying not to think about the lingering echoes of terrible karaoke. Maybe a breakfast buffet is a good idea… or a bad one. The heart says yes, the stomach says no.
- 10:00 AM: Last-minute souvenir hunting and some final exploration of the hotel facilities. One last dip in the pool? Maybe.
- 1:00 PM: Checkout. Saying goodbye to what turned out to be a pretty great place, despite my best attempts to mess it up.
- 2:00 PM: Taxi to the airport…and back to reality. My head is full of memories and my stomach is full of delicious food.
- 4:00 PM: Reflections. Did I do it all? Did I have fun? Did I embarrass myself too much? Answer: yes, to all of the above.
- 5:00 PM: I'm already plotting my return. This trip has reignited my wanderlust. Next time: I will learn some basic Malay phrases and I will master the art of haggling. Also, maybe I'll take a singing lesson. Maybe.
So, there you have it. A gloriously imperfect itinerary. A trip full of potential chaos, unintentional overindulgences, and a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor. Welcome to my world! And if you happen to be around R&F Rainy Mountain Designer Suite, maybe, just maybe, you'll see me (or at least hear me) singing my heart out in the karaoke room.

R&F Rainy Mountain Designer Suite (RARE!) - The Unfiltered Truth: FAQs
Is this 'Designer Suite' actually... designer-y? I'm picturing a minimalist nightmare.
Okay, deep breaths. I went there, alright? And the whole "designer" thing? Well, it's a gamble, isn't it? Some bits are absolutely gorgeous! Think modern glam with a splash of art deco. The lighting! Heavenly. Makes you feel like you're starring in your own moody music video. But… and this is a big but… others? Let's just say the designer took a *very* liberal approach to the word. There's a vase I *swear* I saw at a garage sale (probably a steal, honestly!). And the layout…sometimes you’re thinking: "Did someone REALLY think this was optimal?" So, yes and no. Expect a mixed bag. Embrace the quirky! And don't bring your ultra-judgmental interior designer friend. They'll be… well, mortified. (Side note: I think the showerhead was actually designed by aliens. Amazing water pressure, anyway!)
"Rainy Mountain?" Is there a… mountain? And rain? What am I signing up for?
"Rainy Mountain," sounds epic, doesn't it? It almost *promises* a secret volcano lair or a hidden waterfall. Nope. It's a name. A fancy name. I *think* the "mountain" is meant to reference the, um, the… height of the building, which is quite substantial. And the "rainy"? Well, it rains in Johor Bahru. Frequently. So... realism? But hey, the views, especially when it IS raining, are pretty spectacular. The city lights blurring through the downpour? Romantic. Until your shoes get soaked walking to the 7-Eleven. (Which, by the way, is practically next door. Bless.)
So, location, location, location… is it actually *good*? I'm a foodie and a bargain hunter, basically.
Okay, the spot is pretty solid! You're RIGHT next to the CIQ, which is both a blessing and a curse. Getting to Singapore is easy peasy, but expect crowds... and potential delays. Food-wise? You're in Johor Bahru! Food heaven! There's a mall literally a stone's throw away with EVERYTHING. All the usual suspects, plus some local gems. *Pro tip*: Find the kopitiam. Seriously, hunt it down. The coffee? The toast? Life-changing. Bargain-hunting? Oh, honey, you've hit the jackpot. JB’s prices are incredibly kind. Don’t expect the "designer" boutiques to match the usual bargains, but there’s so much amazing food to experience for the price. Just factor in the potential border queues when planning your food adventures. (Seriously, download the app to check the traffic. Trust me.)
The "Rare" part – what's the story there? Are these rooms *truly* hard to come by?
Ah, the "Rare" mystique. Honestly? I *think* it's a marketing thing. "Rare" makes it sound exclusive. Like, you've stumbled upon a secret society. Which, let’s be honest, is always kinda fun. Availability? Well, I didn't struggle to book. But demand fluctuates, so yeah, maybe book ahead, especially during peak season. But don't expect to feel like you're part of a secret club. Though, the sheer vastness of the place *might* make you feel like you're the only one around sometimes. Which, depending on your mood, could be awesome or a little... lonely.
Let's talk amenities. Pool? Gym? Spa? Are we looking at a luxury escape or just a place to crash?
Okay, amenities. Crucial. The pool area? Actually quite lovely, if a bit popular. Expect a good mix of families and "serious" swimmers. The gym? Adequate. Basic equipment. Gets the job done. But don't expect a state-of-the-art fitness center. The spa? I *didn't* try it. Regret. Next time. I was far too busy exploring the food scene! (Priorities, people!) So, it's a solid offering. Not the *most* luxurious, but perfectly serviceable. The best amenity? The little store in the lobby. Perfect for grabbing a midnight snack when you’re hit with a craving!
The service – are the staff friendly? Or are they just… there?
Service? Hit or miss, like anywhere. Some staff are genuinely lovely, helpful, and eager to assist. Others... well, let's just say they might be having a slightly less cheery day. Language can sometimes be a barrier, but generally, they try their best. Tip: Be polite. Be patient. Kindness goes a *long* way. And if someone goes above and beyond? *Definitely* show your appreciation. A little extra effort can really transform the experience.
Okay, spilling the tea: What are your biggest complaints? Be honest.
Alright, alright, the warts and all:
- **The elevators.** Prepare to wait. Sometimes. Especially at peak times. Bring a book. Or a friend. Or both.
- **Noise.** You’re in a city location. Expect city noises. Traffic. Construction (because, construction in JB is ALWAYS happening, it seems!). Consider bringing earplugs. Maybe.
- **The "Designer" inconsistencies.** As mentioned. Embrace the oddities. Unless you can't. Then… maybe book somewhere else.
- **The walk to the... well, everywhere.** The property is vast. You are going to do a lot of walking to get to places. Sometimes, you’ll think you’ve taken the wrong turn, even when you haven’t.
Would you go back? And more importantly: Should *I* go?
Would *I* go back? Honestly? Yeah, probably. The location is super convenient. The suites, quirky-ness included, are nice enough. The food! Oh, the food. And for the price? It's hard to beat. Should *YOU* go? Okay, here's the deal:
- If you're a fussy, luxury-obsessed diva who can't handle a slightly wonky design choice, AVOID. You’ll be unhappy.
- If you’re looking for a super romantic getaway with zero noise, maybe rethink it.
- If you want an ultra-efficient elevator experience, this is NOT your place.
- If you're a foodie on a budget? Book it. Immediately.
- If you like a bit of character and don't mind a few quirks? You might actually LOVE it.
